Tree Removal in Black Diamond
Is the tree considered “significant”?
(Healthy tree 6 inches DBH or greater, or multi-stem with one stem ≥4″ measured 6″ above the root flare)
Is the property undergoing development, construction, clearing, or a land-use change?
Are you removing more than 6 significant trees (under 16″ DBH) within a 36-month period?
Is the tree dead, diseased, or an immediate hazard to life or property?
What Canopy Solutions, LLC Can Do for Black Diamond Clients
We can:
- Evaluate your property and tree inventory to determine whether removal qualifies for permit or an exemption under city code.
- Prepare and submit either a full Tree Removal Permit or Exemption Application, depending on the circumstances (development vs. small‑lot residential, hazard vs. healthy tree, etc.).
- If required, plan and implement replacement or mitigation: help select appropriate native species, ensure correct sizing at planting, and schedule planting to meet code requirements.
- Advise on strategies to stay within exemption limits (e.g. limiting number of removals, managing tree density) — useful for small residential lots.
- Coordinate with arborists to assess tree health, hazard, or risk — especially for hazardous or diseased trees that may qualify for exemption.
